Mallet was and remains a very good QB prospect that the Pats got dirt cheap in last years draft. Personally I would love to see him behind Fitz next year, but its not going to happen. Hoyer's contract is up and he will be looking for a starting job somewhere and the Pats will obviously not be franchising him. So Mallet was drafted as Brady's backup and possible successor, depending on how he pans out (which IMO is entirely up to him). If the Bills go looking for a QB this year it will have to be someone like Jones or Foles.

He is not very good in coverage (yet), but he is a very good athlete and if he can improve he will be a steal as a seventh round corner. Aaron Williams is looking like a possible standout player. If Buddy's 2012 draft is as good as 2011, things will start looking a lot better as soon as next year.

Until opposing defenses figured out that Fitz could never hit that speedy deep threat.

Ralph is wrong about Fitz. Surround him with better weapons and his deficiencies will only become more obvious. The QB more often makes the supporting cast better, not the other way round. Ralph and the Bills tend to get things a$$ backwards, and they have done so yet again.

You do it. They will do it.

Agree for the most part. If it is true that the only draft that is catagorically Buddy's responsibility is 2011, then I grade him at a B+. Whats more, if he is able to repeat in 2012, the Bills will have turned the corner IMO, whether or not Fitz lines up under center on opening day. Thats really the only glimmer of hope I see at this rather dark time for Bills fans.

No. Stevie Johnson is the real deal. Pair him with a guy who can throw and he will light it up.

Actually the pass was worse than what Corey Webster intercepted. Almost as bad, though not as funny, as the pass he threw yesterday 20 yards downfield and sixty yards in the air. A pot luck jump ball for maybe 10 players on either side. A poster yesterday said the pass where Fitz overthrew Johnson was about SJ's lack of elite speed. Hilarious. SJ is a bit of a flake, no doubt but 1) he is a WR:many WR are flakes and 2) he is also really very talented. After the Jets game Stevie got flamed for the late game "drops". One poster said that was the difference betwen SJ and a true #1 receiver, like Santonio Holmes. Anyone watching the 2nd Jets game should have noticed Holmes dropping passes, including some well thrown balls, all over the place that day (even if he did catch an easy game winner. The truth is they almost all drop some.

Yeah he kinda looks like a little kid out there. Maybe he'll turn into the next Darrell Green (though I doubt it).

How about "let it continue". The only encouraging sign right now is the success of the 2011 draft. It really looks very good. If as some say 2010 was on Modrak and his scouting dept (even if Buddy was GM at the time and previously chief scout)then perhaps we can expect another winning effort in 2012. If that happens, the team has a chance to at least turn the corner.

You might forgive the man for lacking a little fire for football in his belly as he stands on the threshold of eternity. Then again, perhaps not.

Yeah but Fitz was crying after all. Sort of like a litle snotfaced kid.

Forget about a blue chipper like Blackmon. Bills will probably look to sign Donnie Avery after the Titans release him.

Luck will not sit. He is ready to play. Manning and Luck will not be on the same roster IMO.

They didn't know so much when they drafted Brohm in the second. He was good in college too (and he didn't hav anyone at Louisville like Michael Crabtree). Time will tell but IMO he is either their third option at QB next year, on their practice squad, or gone. They are just covering their backsides since Flynn will be leaving. What does it cost them? A few thousand dollars a week. But you know I wouldn't mind seeing him under center for the Pack. It would at least be inteesting to see so well oiled an offensive machine disintegtrate in a nanosecond. If he ever gets to play at this level he will be a turnover machine(IMO). Can't throw 25 yards downfield with a hurricane at his back.

You cannot be more correct IMO. Graham Harrell absolutely sucks as a pro QB. He couldn't even play in Canada. What this suggests to me is that having written the check the Bills intend to go with Fitz and not draft and groom a premier prospect at the position. GB is probably just leaving their options opoen. Don't be surprised if he is not on their roster next year as they find a better player to back up AR. Buddy can go get him then. Chan Gailey should get his head out of the college dust bin. He's coaching in a pro league now. Now Matt Flynn on the other hand. There a guy who looks like he might be player. No chance of our landing him I guess.

Re model citizen, a Jets former teammate says though he was respected as a player people were very wary of Suh's anger management issues and unexpected mood swings. Says this never came out in public and was never flagged at the combine. Suh is a boy in a man's body. He needs to grow up (if at all possible). Having said that, after we draft RG3 in the first, I hope we land Vontaze Burfict in the second. He's a real puppy off the field too.

They were backing up the truck foe Nnambi at the time and could not match. When Nnambi signed with Philly Brad was gone to Buff. I don't know, I guess we overpaid. But I like what I'm seeing from him as a WR. For a guy who has never played the position he looks remarkably good to me. Fast, long arm's, good ball shills and, incredibly, seems to have a sense of how to run a pass pattern. Imagine if he turned out to be the guy we needed to stretch the field all along.

Easy to say (I expected the comment). I saw several plays where he was behind blocks that were made. I would not go so far as to say he needs to make his own holes to run thru, however if someone said that (as they have) I think I know what they mean. He still does not hit itquick enuf. Not enuf explosion. He has improved tho and possibly the rest of this season will help him for next and beyond.

As a RB, to me the main problem is that CJ stilldoes not hit the hole fast enuf. He's improving but not there yet. He is not a power back who can be expected to make his living breaking tackles.

sorry its pretty clear he matches up well against the best cover corner in football. now if we only had a corner that can shut down Welker we'd be cookin.

He's better than M. Crabtree (#10 0verall pick) and better than Housh in his prime. Someone will pay him. Just pray that they are not in our Division (unless its us of course).

second pass was not catchable. bad throw.

...and you know what...I seriously dislike Burress anyway...what did he say about Blo? "Great wings"? He is a seriously disrespectful tool that himself deserves to be disrespected. He is also a moron, packin a pistol only to shoot himself. oh, and BTW, if it hasn't been previously mentioned, this is the second time SJ has owned Revis...if Fitz had been on his game in Buffalo SJ would have put up big numbers. Sign him, or franchise him (and then sign him).

Yeah, if the owner & the front office forget to do it, the fans take over and look after it.
